METROPOLITAN HILARION: THE FACT THAT THE PATRIARCHATE OF CONSTANTINOPLE HAS RECOGNIZED A SCHISMATIC STRUCTURE MEANS FOR US THAT IT ITSELF IS NOW IN SCHISM
On October 17, 2018, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations gave an interview to the BBC Russian Service on the situation that has developed in connection with the anti-canonical actions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the decision of the Russian Orthodox Church to break off the Eucharistic communion with it.

SERGEI CHAPNIN: WAR OF PATRIARCHS. HOW THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH CRASHED IN UKRAINE
Why
does Patriarch Cyril
fight
for the church in Ukraine? Her loss is a blow to the concept of
the “Church of the Empire,” which he developed after the fall of
the USSR. Until recently, it was hard not to agree that the
Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) is the largest and richest, but it
could not be converted into diplomatic victories over the Greeks.

ΣΥΝΕΝΤΕΥΞΗ ΤΟΥ ΟΥΚΡΑΝΟΥ ΠΡΟΚΑΘΗΜΕΝΟΥ ΤΩΝ ΟΥΝΙΤΩΝ
Κατά την παρουσία του στη Ρώμη για την σύναξη των επισκόπων της Καθολικής Εκκλησίας προκειμένου να εξετάσουν το ζήτημα των νέων, ο αρχιεπίσκοπος της Εκκλησίας των Ουνιτών της Ουκρανίας Sviatoslav Shevchuk έδωσε λίγο μετά την απόφαση της συνόδου Οικ. Πατριαρχείου (9-11.10.18), και πριν της απόφαση του Πατριαρχείου Μόσχας (15.10.18)), ενδιαφέρουσα εκτενή συνέντευξη στο διεθνούς κύρους εκκλησιαστικό περιοδικό Crux για την εκκλησιαστική, αλλά και γενικότερη κοινωνικο-πολιτική, κατάσταση στην Ουκρανία.
Είναι πολλά τα ενδιαφέροντα στοιχεία αυτής της συνέντευξης, ένα από τα οποία ασφαλώς και η εκτίμησή του, ότι η πρωτοβουλία του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου ήταν κάτι σαν "χάδι στα εκατομμύρια των Ουκρανών από την μητέρα Εκκλησία".

UNO SCISMA IMPERIALE. SE MOSCA NON ACCETTA LA STORIA NEL NOME DEL SUO PASSATO
La profezia di Bartolomeo, che vuole tenere l’ortodossia in rapporto con la storia, e le paure esistenziali russe, memori del loro impero, non sono conciliabili oggi. Domani la storia saprà dimostrare di non essere un incidente, ma nel frattempo il rischio è che altri incidenti antistorici possano aggravare il quadro

PROFESSSOR REV. MIKHAIL ZHETLOV: HISTORICAL-CANONICAL BASIS FOR THE UNITY OF THE RUSSIAN CHURCH
PROFESSSOR
REV. MIKHAIL ZHETLOV: HISTORICAL-CANONICAL BASIS FOR THE UNITY OF THE
RUSSIAN CHURCH
The
following article describes in detail and scrupulously analyzes the
historical events connected with the arrangement of Church life in
Kiev, Moscow, and Western Rus’ over the span of the last
millennium. Over that period of time, the unity of the Russian
Orthodox Church has been attacked a number of times from various
sides, but it has nevertheless continued to exist significantly
longer than those broken periods. In Byzantine times it was namely
the Church of Constantinople that advocated for this unity against
the rising political conflicts between one or another Russian
princedom. Only the Byzantium elite itself was able to tear the
metropolia of all the Russias from Constantinople, when it first
tried to use Russian Orthodoxy as a bargaining chip in its desperate
attempt to get the West to come to the aid of perishing
Constantinople, and then allowed the Uniate metropolitan to usurp the
title of the primate of “All Rus’”; but the objective course of
history has given a comprehensive answer to this question, fixed in a
whole series of ecclesiastical-canonical documents cited by the
author, which leave no grounds for any lawful reinterpretation
whatsoever.
HAS MOSCOW UNDERMINED ITS ABILITY TO ENGENDER A SCHISM?
Most observers are growing increasingly more worried about the drifting apart of Constantinople and Moscow on the basis of Ukraine’s imminent autocephaly. I would like to make a case to the contrary. There are indications that the possibility of a full-blown schism between two halves of the Orthodox world (rather than between two patriarchates) has lessened recently due to Moscow’s problematic handling of the crisis during the last few weeks.
TOMOS ANTE PORTAS: A SHORT GUIDE TO UKRAINIAN CHURCH INDEPENDENCE
On 11 October, a three-day meeting of the Synod, or church council, of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, finished in Istanbul. It gave further confirmation that Ukraine is on the path to receiving church independence from Moscow – and healing its schism, which has for nearly thirty years divided the world’s second largest Orthodox nation.

NICHOLAS DENISENKO: ON AUTOKEFALY IN OUKRANIAN
As the process of obtaining autocephaly for the Church in Ukraine enters the homestretch, clergy and laity argue about canonical territory, the "legitimization of schism," and nationalism. The incessant obsession with these issues obscures the reality of a Church as a community of people who continue to engage everyday life while they go to church. One cannot separate the struggle for autocephaly from the conditions of everyday life. Headlines about long-tenured hierarchs and high-level meetings involving more media than people barely scratch the surface of a much more complex story.
